Arcane Anomaly
A chaotic knot of unstable magical energy that lashes out unpredictably.
The Arcane Anomaly defies easy description. It is a roughly spherical distortion of space where raw magic pools and writhes. Sometimes it hurls bolts of force. Sometimes it seems to strengthen itself. Once, a researcher reported it accidentally healed her mid-fight. Do not rely on that happening again.

- Notes
- Wild Surge random outcome table keeps players off-balance. Blink makes it hard to pin down -- rewards AoE builds or gap-closers. Immune to stun, bleed, and poison. Groups of multiple Anomalies are intentionally chaotic.
